Sorry if this has been brought up before, and I know there's a discussion at the video itself, but I wanted to suggest an improvement that has directly to do with it here.

So, everyone reading this probably was already involved in this discussion already, about new users signing up, promoting a video, and taking off. I have a suggestion which might solve this issue in the future to some extent, and maybe even just be enabled whenever there's an issue with a particular video. I bring it up now, after the "damage" has been done (with too many double quotes), because the same thing can definitely happen in the future.

Perhaps when a new user signs up, they have to wait a week before they can vote on a video. Well, you might say, then that might discourage them from continuing with the site and having a blast, thereby discourage general sign-uppage. Well, perhaps then a user could vote only on Queued videos for the first week. That's good for at least voting on 500 different videos (my guesstimation), and they could always playlist videos for upvoting at the end of their week.

Thoughts?
